Narrative:The pilot stated that he had became distracted by the loader placing a greater amount into the hopper than the previous loads, and as a result, he failed to extend the flaps for takeoff. During the takeoff roll he noted that the airplane was not becoming airborne where it previously had, but thought this was due to the increased load. The airplane went off the end of the runway into a field, collapsing the right main landing gear.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to extend the flaps for takeoff. A factor was his diverted attention to the loading of the airplane.
